Before & After Photos

This homeowner met us at our booth at the Oregon State Fair and scheduled an appointment for one of our energy consultants to evaluate the home. She wanted to be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

When our energy consultant investigated in the attic, he found what we find at many homes—an inadequately insulated attic space using outdated fiberglass.

The first step our expert insulation crew did was to remove the old fiberglass and wood shavings in the attic. This allowed our crew to then seal the areas with air leakage. They then blew in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to the higher recommended R-60 level. This puts a “blanket” in her attic to help make her home more comfortable to live in year-round. The cellulose also deters critters from nesting in the attic.

The insulation in the attic of this coastal Oregon home was old and quite inadequate—it was almost like having nothing up there at all!

Our insulation crew removed the old insulation so critters did not have a place to nest. (Rats and mice love to live in fiberglass.) They then blew in TruSoft cellulose. This creates a warm blanket in the attic to keep in the air the homeowner is paying to heat, plus animals do not like to nest in blown-in cellulose.

The cover over the access to this crawl space wasn’t doing much to prevent critters from entering, so our crew installed a new crawl space door.

This Philomath homeowner knew there were issues in their crawl space. Our owner Josh investigated the crawl space and found actively-growing mold, rodent droppings, standing water, and insulation that had fallen off the underfloor!  They chose Josh Lowe's Dr. Energy Saver to encapsulate their crawl space.

The ductwork under this building in Aumsville, OR was missing a lot of insulation, plus there were gaps in the joints, so a LOT of heated air was never even making it in to the building. For a more permanent solution, they chose to spray foam the ductwork to encapsulate them.
